Presentation to Management Academy 2014 4/10/2014

2

What this presentation is about

Review the SWF and Article 11 WMG and WRA process.

Issues with SWFs


3

Why and when do you have to use the SWF?

Work of full-time academic employees in the College Professors, Instructors, Counsellors and Librarians

Professors and Instructors are Teachers -SWF

Counsellors and Librarians have 35 hour work week- NO SWF

Partial-Load Professors and Instructors- No SWF (Part-time and Sessionals- No-SWF)


4

Teachers- Professors/Instructors

Year = 10 month Academic Year+2 months unpaid leave Academic year = Teaching Period + Non-Teaching Period

Teaching period is: up to 36 weeks post-secondary programs up to 38 weeks not-in-post-secondary

During teaching period assign work on a SWF


5

What goes on the SWF?

Teaching hours (TCH) + Preparation time=TCH x Prep. Factor + Evaluation time=TCH x Class Size x Eval. Factor + Complementary functions (other duties) some

standard, some formula based and some assigned


6

Teaching hours (TCH)


Assigned by the College 50 minute blocks Limit of 4 course preps or 6 sections unless

agreement Actual Assigned time by the week

4/10/2014

7

Preparation Time (11.01 D 1)

Attributed preparation time = TCH X Prep factor

- New 1.10 (new or “major revision”) - Established A 0.85 (taught but not within 3 years) - Established B 0.60 (taught within past 3 years) - Repeat A 0.45 (students -different yr./program) - Repeat B 0.35 (students same yr. + program) - Special A & B (continuous intake and workplace

settings)


8

Evaluation and Feedback (11.01 E 1)

Attributed Evaluation = TCH x factor x class size

- EP – Essay or project 0.030 - RA – Routine or assisted 0.015 - IP – In-process 0.0092

Mixed Factors (agreement or weighted average): e.g. Final mark=60% Essay + 40% Multiple Choice Test Factor = .60 x 0.030 + .40 x .015 = 0.024


9

Complementary functions

Standard Allowance- 6 hours 2 for normal administrative duties 4 for routine out-of-class assistance to students

Other assigned duties Hour for hour basis

Large numbers of total students Agreement or Formula Teacher must request this Formula=(Total Students-260) x .015 hours

10

It’s a Formula


Teaching Hours – actual weekly assigned time Complementary hours= flat rate (6 hours) + weekly

average of College estimate of work time + maybe some formula (large student numbers)

Preparation/Evaluation is a formula Rough justice not actual time spent and not a

minimum Additional time only if “atypical circumstances”

really special cases

Non-Teaching Period (11.08)

Used for activities initiated by the teacher and by

the College as part of their mutual commitment to professionalism, the quality of education and professional development Complementary functions and PD Mutual consent but not unreasonably withheld No SWF issued but activities may be documented It is a work period it is not a leave


19

WMG- Workload Monitoring Group

Union/Management Representatives-equal numbers Meet to resolve individual complaints Discuss general workload issues- wide list of

functions (11.02 C1) Process used varies College to College Lengthy set of variables that can be considered

(11.02 C2)


20

WRA- Workload Resolutions Arbitrator

Third party agreed to by Union/College Adjudicate individual dispute that the WMG cannot

resolve Less formal than regular arbitration Process varies depending on WRA (presentations,

written information, statements and questions, witness)

Decision Binding for 1 year


21

Issues

o What the heck is a “section”? o How do you deal with non-traditional learning? (0n-

line, hybrid) o Why does the structure of the program matter?

(impact of 4 hour or 2 hour courses) o What is the ‘cost of complementary functions’


22

Modified Workload Agreements

Article 11.09- Modified workload arrangements No SWF

Modifications can deal with delivery that is not “traditional”

You need: Agreement of 2/3 of the teachers Agreement of the Union or, Order of WRA
